Tbh if her NP did damage, she wouldn't really have any glaring flaws outside of survivability. Her stats are great, her passives are excellent, and she has good skills. It's just that damn NP.
@@Written_in_the_Starss too bad, she already got an upgrade and the only change outisde of gaining buff removak is that the Def down nowbscales between 20% and 40% with NP levels
Another way to buff her NP, aside from giving it damage, is to just change its card type to either facilitate spamming her NP or crapping out more crit starts -- but that's even more unlikely than the damage buff. They obviously gave her stupid NP gain to balance out the Buster card's big fat bullshit, but they couldn't see how bad that would turn out. The route they went is honestly pretty weird; it's not like she would've been an NP spamming machine since she'd still need a brave chain, and she's a support. They should've just made it a Quick card, or given her lower NP gain, if that was the issue.
Here’s an in depth step by step tutorial on how to use Stheno: Step 1: tap on the Menu tab in the main screen Step 2: tap on the “shop” icon Step 3: tap on the “Burning (Sell)” button Step 4: tap on Stheno’s card Step 5: tap on the “OK” button on the bottom right Step 6: tap on the “Burn” button And that’s it! Edit: typo
She did me dirty twice. First was the 2019 new years gssr that got me NP2 Nightingale, felt bad. Gold Spin Assassin and it was Stheno there to kick me when im down. Fast forward to Gramps recent banner, gold spin and then Stheno right after an NP2 Astolfo spook on Quetz's banner. How dare this lewd snake do me so wrong. Also yes, i fused them and have np2, burning shouldve taken place but if i had done so i may not have gotten gramps hassan down the line.
Stheno was the only 4* assassin I have for a long time. She's not really good at giving damage and her debuff are not reliable. So, I use matahari instead.
Same, i keep thinking why i can only compare stheno to matahari. If both of them was in the same rarity matahari will outclass stheno. But, they're not even in the same rarity yet grail'ed matahari will still outclass her.
Was waiting for "Smile! Sweet! Sister! Sadistic! Surprise! Service! STHENOOOOO" in the intro, was kind of disappointed. Still, this is a good Servant guide to everyone's most disliked spook.
Same. Though I don't recall in which singularity I started using better servants and stopped using her. Maybe before America Regardless she was my main damage dealer during the intial singularities.
This was planned from last year's Jailter's gag wasn't it? "What did Santa bring you honey?" Fino: Stheno Servant Guide! Everyone: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Hey now at least with Sassy-Shin you can control your crit stars to a decent degree, you have a much better full quick deck with a quick np, and he can be used with Skadi memes, not to mention he gets his skill buff later.
I just wanna say I don't regret getting her to NP5 a few weeks ago after spooking me for the fifth time on my single attempt at the KH banner. That said, great video as always. I've been on a lookout for your next servant guide.
I actually use Stheno so often I have her Bond CE, she is also at NP5 most of the time as a support for Meltrylis, Tama Lancer and especially with her sisters with my lvl 100 Euryale, lvl 100 Anna, Gorgon or Medusa (all 10/10/10 skills & NP5).
@@creaturetransylvania8943 The Lostbelt era sucks a bit because the almost male bosses have high debuff resistances the last boss I used for snek team against Sigurd my Euryale is the one left standing.
I burned a copy of Stheno after she spooked me while rolling for Cleo. Then Cleo finally appeared. I don't plan to burn her the next time she appears but still 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Good guide, many people see Stheno trash but she is not, actually she can work on many teams as a staller and buffer to some servants. I have Stheno NP5. When the opponent boss is male I have this meme team of all of the sisters since I have them (Euryale, Stheno, Medusa, Anna, and Gorgon). They are very entertaining that way to see the opponent get chained stun/charm.
Stheno was my first SR servant (From the tutorial roll) and I never did reroll my account, didn't know how and didn't care for it. I have her at bond lv 10 now cause for a long time she was my only viable assassin besides Shiki.
I recently drew Gorgon, allowing me to build the team I like to refer to as "Family Feud." Funnily enough, all the gorgon sisters-including alt-classes-have just enough to build a team of their own.
Excellent video my dude, oh and what’s this???? I just pulled Steno a few hours ago??? Fan-freaking-tastic! No seriously looking at when this was published I pulled her at about this tim........wait a damn minute....it was you....you did this.....
6:32 Yep totally agree was agonizing to have her at the start, worse still when she was one of my only three Gold Servants for about 4 months last year
There is one exception to the meme team issue, where having such bonkers attack actually makes sense: special dmg up buffs. Special damage up buffs may initially look like your average separate buff that stacks multiplicatively with every other buff, but you'd be sorely mistaken if you believed that. Special damage up from things like Art of Death, Jack the Ripper's NP, and event damage bonuses for specific servants stacks additively with NP dmg and Crit dmg buffs. If you want to verify this, try using The Black Grail on a 100% event damage servant. Instead of the +220% damage you'd expect from a NP, you only get +160% damage from that NP. This means the only buffs that actually stack multiplicatively with special dmg up are Atk up/Def down, quick up, buster up, and arts up. While it's true you should balance the command card buff numbers and the atk/def modifiers as closely as possible for maximum damage, the fact that NP dmg and Crit dmg buffs are not a part of that makes it more forgiving. It's also why you see far more impact with Star Absorption on special dmg up characters than normal since dealing a crit more consistently rather than increasing crit damage becomes important for anyone using special dmg up. One example of when you might legitimately want the meme team is if multiple servants on the field get special dmg up bonuses. For example, if Elizabeth and Ishtar had 30-100% special damage up from being event servants, then you might actually want to have that wide 80% attack buff since applying area wide command card buffs achieve lower values. If not, maybe the servants themselves has their own command card buff within their kit. Ereshkigal has a stonky buster buff and even more buster from her NP overcharge after all. Make no mistake, special damage mulitpliers that is specifically tied to an NP and not a buff, the difference being it doesn't give you a buff icon, will stack multiplicatively with NP strength up. This means things like Gilgamesh's NP and Siegfried's NP. If the NP gives a Special Dmg up buff like Jack the Ripper and Tawara Touta, then it's the type that stacks additively with NP strength up and Crit Dmg. So yes, the NP damage up buff from Gilgamesh's NP does increase the damage overall by 1.3x.
I was actually happy getting Stheno. Because I played Day 1 and never got her, I only got MHX and Shuten when I expected her. I got her recently and my Divine Teams are going strong.
My first starter SR was her And the day i start play FGO, babylonia and snek family banner was also up, roll a bit, and got gorgon. Now i know reunited the sisters was my destiny and i did it. Just ignore her NP and use her skill and art-quick card for crit stars or art chain. Her damage somehow surprisingly quite good tho.
I kept her for decoration purpose. I had her sisters, *all* of them (except gorgon, ill wait for the next free 4*). Even mister fister can do better. But anyway her love for her *useful* sisters gives her some worths at my Chaldea
ohh i have feel that spook, when i am rolling for King hassan. Ive tried many roll and anytime i am seeing that gold assasin i am so hype and excited but only to see Stheno..
She was my free SR, and still sits at 27/40 a year and a half later. For some time, I did feel the agony from the curse of getting her. Fortunately, now I have a roster that I am quite happy with. Now this finally gave me an idea of how to use her, maybe with Osakabehime for an assassin team. Good thing I also have Ishtar.
Thing really worth noting about Stheno: she has the same silly thing going on with Carmilla where, at base, she has extremely high NP gain on her Quick cards. Like, a stone's throw away from what Jack can do. So you can use her NP bizarrely often and even stack up its defense debuff on occasion.
Either I'm dumb, crazy or all the above because I'll be actively rolling for her when she gets a rate up ( All just to get the snake family together ( Smug snake come home )).
Stheno was my first SR servant, heard about all that crazy rerolling deal, found it too much of a hassle... So now Stheno is level 80 with 10/10/10. NP 3, cant wait to max this little Bully
LB2 made me realize how I could meme her with Euryale and Orion, but I couldn't do much with it since her S3 was unlevelled and she likely wouldn't have lasted long against Surtr.
There s absolutely no servant that can be worst than gilles de rais caster. Anyone else can be useful especially for nonwhales if they know what they re doing.
Hell even CasGilles atleast has an aoe np with a decently quick animation. He can farm first or second wave assassin dailies if you dont have anything better somehow
@@E1337N3SS Compared to other servants he had it so bad. >story locked >skills that are virtually useless >he isn't the only low star AOE buster caster(you get a free cu chulain caster) So yeah, too much work.
Honestly I’ve just been using her for buff removal / defense down and divine buffers ever since I got her and she’s fun to use I can’t wait for a single Male enemy to face in a CQ with my NP2 Stheno now
Back when I played the game for the first time around September, I used to think getting Stheno in the tutorial gacha (alongside good ol Sumanai) was a win for me, turns out I was wrong once I got to Orleans. I didn't have the REGEND at the time so she carried me alongside a support Carmilla through it all. Still a useless goddess tho, that said, she was useful in killing Herc in Okeanos (A job that her twin sis Euryale did much better)
For anybody that went through her interludes (which is two too many), I'm sorry you suffered through the biggest waste of time ever and for the 3rd time actually. I didn't have a high opinion of her before then but actually doing those (and rewatching the scene of the 1st Nerofest) made me despise her even more. This is one servant that I will never max level. Her ass can stay at 70 and to spite her more, I'll make sure to run a triple Medusa/Gorgon team against her. Fuck Stheno.
@NombreGenerico777 (I should've answered you earlier, sorry about that.) Septum has you meeting her and having your time wasted with treasure that isn't there before deciding 'oh yeah, I should lead you back to plot or something'. Both Tamamo Cat and Liz were shoehorned into the Singularity for no rhyme or reason but at least other events would 'flesh out' those two. So naturally, Stheno gets 2 interludes which is more than her sisters, standard Cu, and Medea who all have been around since launch, just like her, meaning that the interludes must be good, right? Hah! April Fool's is months away and yet this is as bad of a joke imaginable, despite getting quartz from them each. There's very little difference between the interludes aside from some of the battles and story bits. Interlude 1 has Stheno charming you and Romani (who sends you down after originally being against it and calling out her crap from Septum) in order to hunt for treasure that's located in an area that was wrecked by wretches. This ultimately has you fighting Chimeras, the undead, and Medusa, who of course got threatened to fight you. After all of that, the treasure is...Stheno, who was hiding inside. What a mess! as the Master puts it. Interlude 2 has Mash immediately saying that they won't be roped into what Stheno has requested, despite the latter saying that the purpose is different...and barely defending herself on the matter. Master is barely affected but you get sent down again because Romani is still under her spell. You eventually see Medusa again but this time you fight copies of her in the same battle. After that, Stheno appears and spouts her toxic nonsense of 'The star always arrives late' in 'hopes of cleaning up a little sister's mishap' because 'if someone is making Master suffer, then need to be mercilessly rid of' and all of this is with her egotistical Goddess complex. So we get to fight Medusa...again. This time instead of fighting a wave of three Medusas, we get to fight two waves...of three Medusa. Everyone's energy is zapped except Steno, obviously, with the excuse (to her delight) that could if materialized as a servant during the Age of Myths as well as getting used to this like Euryale. tl;dr Stheno's interludes are such a waste of time and have her doing the same crap again and again, to inconvenience you and barely being apologetic in the slightest. This is technically my opinion of her being a shitty servant character but I get much more interests from seeing somone with actual emotions. Euryale is a bitch to Medusa but still dwarves her twin by a country mile for having better character outside of bullying the youngest sister while having sweet moments with Asterios (good boy). Edward Teach is a dirtbag but he's one of those colorful love/hate characters that while being a pervert, he's creative and funny. Rider of Resistance, while I do dislike him for the ugliness he shows (one of which is implied but not certain), did train up civilians to better defend themselves. Stheno just...has nothing aside from her tactic of 'Adore me (Serra from Fire Emblem)' and her bullying of Medusa. Again though, there's probably something I'm missing in regards to Stheno and I'm sure others find more enjoyable tactics where I don't. Apologies for the rant. Yikes.
Taprus Light Never apologize for speaking the truth. Stupid Snek is one I'd happily put into the meat grinder the first chance I get. Also, she denied me my summer gravelord waifu. She made it VERY personal ever since. >: (
This rare prism spooked me after like, 3 months of e-rank luck, at this point the game is trolling me, but that's what I get for somehow rolling twin Angra Mainyus at the beginning of the game
Oh that intro reminded me of the first Christmas Banner with Jack... My friend gets Waver and Jack in a 10. Me? Fuckin min roll with Stheno. She might be an awful servant gameplay wise but Spook of the Stheno sure is a powerful Anti-Player Noble Phantasm
I've been getting nothing but Assassins in the Gold Rarity as of recent. "First Hassan", Jack the Ripper, Emiya Assassin, but, strangely, no Stheno. I just want a Gold Archer...
Everyone so easy to diss the sexy snek sister. Me on the other hand love to use her against any berserker or male enemy to charm lock them into submission. That Hijikata challenge quest was a piece of cake that he didn't even get to do anything. Megalos and Columbus in Agartha were a joke under the power of Stheno & Euryale. Think about it if her NP was say Arts she would be broken with her np gain stacking def. down debuffs on enemies and against any males oh boy that wouldn't even be fair.
when first time playing the game, I got Stheno as my first servant, but back then in confused of how tf does a buster NP deals no freaking damage at all? some couple days later I got Shuten and decided to feed Stheno to her, and I try to forget that I ever got Stheno.
The Stheno+Euryale team is bad, not because it's a niche meme comp, but because I can't tell who the hell I'm selecting when picking cards.
Lol I feel you
They wear different headbands
The smug one is Stheno. Euryale doesn't smile on her command cards.

She was my free SR, and still sits at 27/40 a year and a half later. For some time, I did feel the agony from the curse of getting her. Fortunately, now I have a roster that I am quite happy with.
Now this finally gave me an idea of how to use her, maybe with Osakabehime for an assassin team. Good thing I also have Ishtar.
Thing really worth noting about Stheno: she has the same silly thing going on with Carmilla where, at base, she has extremely high NP gain on her Quick cards. Like, a stone's throw away from what Jack can do. So you can use her NP bizarrely often and even stack up its defense debuff on occasion.
Either I'm dumb, crazy or all the above because I'll be actively rolling for her when she gets a rate up ( All just to get the snake family together ( Smug snake come home )).
Stheno was my first SR servant, heard about all that crazy rerolling deal, found it too much of a hassle... So now Stheno is level 80 with 10/10/10. NP 3, cant wait to max this little Bully
Thank you for this.
The Stheno+Euryale team really helps crotch punting Gawain
Garbo magic, sums things up pretty well.
Thank you for the Gunbuster reference.
"Willy Wonka's Meme Factory" fucking aces
I never get her, I need her to reunite all the Gorgon sisters and also make my ultimate charm lock sisters team
LB2 made me realize how I could meme her with Euryale and Orion, but I couldn't do much with it since her S3 was unlevelled and she likely wouldn't have lasted long against Surtr.
There s absolutely no servant that can be worst than gilles de rais caster.
Anyone else can be useful especially for nonwhales if they know what they re doing.
Hell even CasGilles atleast has an aoe np with a decently quick animation. He can farm first or second wave assassin dailies if you dont have anything better somehow
@@E1337N3SS Compared to other servants he had it so bad.
>story locked
>skills that are virtually useless
>he isn't the only low star AOE buster caster(you get a free cu chulain caster)
So yeah, too much work.
Honestly I’ve just been using her for buff removal / defense down and divine buffers ever since I got her and she’s fun to use
I can’t wait for a single Male enemy to face in a CQ with my NP2 Stheno now
Here's my margarita induced formula: Super 2030 Stheno + Penth + Merlin + Golden Carp Gong + plug suit
Oh fk I only have 2 golden assasins and those are the intro ones............. feels bad man.
The difference between Stheno and mister fister is that one is a rare prism and the other is a bro
Back when I played the game for the first time around September, I used to think getting Stheno in the tutorial gacha (alongside good ol Sumanai) was a win for me, turns out I was wrong once I got to Orleans. I didn't have the REGEND at the time so she carried me alongside a support Carmilla through it all.
Still a useless goddess tho, that said, she was useful in killing Herc in Okeanos (A job that her twin sis Euryale did much better)
High IQ play to review the old stinker over the new hotness.
Only a true mad lad would roll on a banner were you could only get stheno.
Fino is truly the man of only the finest culture.
Teach me senpai!
For anybody that went through her interludes (which is two too many), I'm sorry you suffered through the biggest waste of time ever and for the 3rd time actually. I didn't have a high opinion of her before then but actually doing those (and rewatching the scene of the 1st Nerofest) made me despise her even more. This is one servant that I will never max level. Her ass can stay at 70 and to spite her more, I'll make sure to run a triple Medusa/Gorgon team against her. Fuck Stheno.
@NombreGenerico777 (I should've answered you earlier, sorry about that.) Septum has you meeting her and having your time wasted with treasure that isn't there before deciding 'oh yeah, I should lead you back to plot or something'. Both Tamamo Cat and Liz were shoehorned into the Singularity for no rhyme or reason but at least other events would 'flesh out' those two. So naturally, Stheno gets 2 interludes which is more than her sisters, standard Cu, and Medea who all have been around since launch, just like her, meaning that the interludes must be good, right?
Hah! April Fool's is months away and yet this is as bad of a joke imaginable, despite getting quartz from them each. There's very little difference between the interludes aside from some of the battles and story bits. Interlude 1 has Stheno charming you and Romani (who sends you down after originally being against it and calling out her crap from Septum) in order to hunt for treasure that's located in an area that was wrecked by wretches. This ultimately has you fighting Chimeras, the undead, and Medusa, who of course got threatened to fight you. After all of that, the treasure is...Stheno, who was hiding inside. What a mess! as the Master puts it.
Interlude 2 has Mash immediately saying that they won't be roped into what Stheno has requested, despite the latter saying that the purpose is different...and barely defending herself on the matter. Master is barely affected but you get sent down again because Romani is still under her spell. You eventually see Medusa again but this time you fight copies of her in the same battle. After that, Stheno appears and spouts her toxic nonsense of 'The star always arrives late' in 'hopes of cleaning up a little sister's mishap' because 'if someone is making Master suffer, then need to be mercilessly rid of' and all of this is with her egotistical Goddess complex. So we get to fight Medusa...again. This time instead of fighting a wave of three Medusas, we get to fight two waves...of three Medusa. Everyone's energy is zapped except Steno, obviously, with the excuse (to her delight) that could if materialized as a servant during the Age of Myths as well as getting used to this like Euryale.
tl;dr Stheno's interludes are such a waste of time and have her doing the same crap again and again, to inconvenience you and barely being apologetic in the slightest. This is technically my opinion of her being a shitty servant character but I get much more interests from seeing somone with actual emotions. Euryale is a bitch to Medusa but still dwarves her twin by a country mile for having better character outside of bullying the youngest sister while having sweet moments with Asterios (good boy). Edward Teach is a dirtbag but he's one of those colorful love/hate characters that while being a pervert, he's creative and funny. Rider of Resistance, while I do dislike him for the ugliness he shows (one of which is implied but not certain), did train up civilians to better defend themselves. Stheno just...has nothing aside from her tactic of 'Adore me (Serra from Fire Emblem)' and her bullying of Medusa. Again though, there's probably something I'm missing in regards to Stheno and I'm sure others find more enjoyable tactics where I don't. Apologies for the rant. Yikes.
Taprus Light Never apologize for speaking the truth. Stupid Snek is one I'd happily put into the meat grinder the first chance I get. Also, she denied me my summer gravelord waifu. She made it VERY personal ever since. >: (
This rare prism spooked me after like, 3 months of e-rank luck, at this point the game is trolling me, but that's what I get for somehow rolling twin Angra Mainyus at the beginning of the game
There's a man that soloed Ivan the Terrible with a grailed Stheno. It's fucking wild man!
Just started playing FGO for the first time....go to summon for the very first time......instant Stheno.
Oh that intro reminded me of the first Christmas Banner with Jack... My friend gets Waver and Jack in a 10. Me? Fuckin min roll with Stheno.
She might be an awful servant gameplay wise but Spook of the Stheno sure is a powerful Anti-Player Noble Phantasm
I've been getting nothing but Assassins in the Gold Rarity as of recent. "First Hassan", Jack the Ripper, Emiya Assassin, but, strangely, no Stheno.
I just want a Gold Archer...
With her animation update I need her so much
One of the earliest gold servants I got NP5 not counting welfare, still level 1 tho I feel guilty
Stheno was my starter SR and she is my lucky charm.
This HAS to be some sort of twitch sub goal right? 😂
CALLED IT!~
Pulled that murder at the kogetsugan banner expecting for lancelot since he has a 1.400% drpp rate and i found 4 cppies of her in one pull oof
Sad thing for me is that my first 4 star serve ya were both those assassins in the intro 😢
My friend got Stheno as his beginner 4 star
but at least he got Avenger of Shinjuku too
those spinal fluids might be a problem for him though...
You thought it was MHX on thanksgiving, but it was me Stheno!
Gawain cowers in fear
it was going to happen at some point.
Anyways the clip at the beginning is way too familiar for me and I have no idea why
Everyone so easy to diss the sexy snek sister. Me on the other hand love to use her against any berserker or male enemy to charm lock them into submission. That Hijikata challenge quest was a piece of cake that he didn't even get to do anything. Megalos and Columbus in Agartha were a joke under the power of Stheno & Euryale.
Think about it if her NP was say Arts she would be broken with her np gain stacking def. down debuffs on enemies and against any males oh boy that wouldn't even be fair.
Do a fionn video?
I already 10/10/10'd her, she's currently NP4. I want her more than Mister Fister.
Stheno was my starter roll... dunno if that contributed to my pulls being Wrong Luck EX or was part of it
How I wish I knew about re-rolling when I started. Still love her character tho.
Finally. Its out
Atleast she is cute and has good design.
I see you there inserting a Daily Lives Of Highschool Boys. Clever girl.... besides that good video!
when first time playing the game, I got Stheno as my first servant, but back then in confused of how tf does a buster NP deals no freaking damage at all? some couple days later I got Shuten and decided to feed Stheno to her, and I try to forget that I ever got Stheno.
Is funny that I have a NP 4 Stheno and recently I was investing on her skills
Its December not April Fools
